Summary:
The documentation demonstrates a Windows-centric bias by exclusively referencing Microsoft Entra Domain Services (formerly Azure AD DS), Active Directory, and related tooling for authentication, authorization, and cluster management. There are no examples or guidance for integrating with Linux-native identity providers (such as LDAP, MIT Kerberos, or FreeIPA), nor are there instructions for managing HDInsight clusters in environments that do not use Microsoft identity solutions. The documentation assumes a Windows/Active Directory environment as the default, omitting Linux-first or open-source alternatives.
Recommendations:
- Provide equivalent guidance for integrating HDInsight clusters with Linux-native identity providers (e.g., OpenLDAP, FreeIPA, MIT Kerberos), including configuration steps and security best practices.
- Include examples and workflows for environments that do not use Microsoft Entra Domain Services or Active Directory, such as those using open-source directory services.
- Explicitly mention any limitations or requirements for non-Windows environments, and offer workarounds or alternatives where possible.
- Ensure that documentation sections referencing authentication, authorization, and cluster management do not assume Microsoft tooling as the only or primary option.
- Add Linux command-line examples (e.g., using SSH, kinit, or open-source tools) alongside or in place of Windows/PowerShell-centric instructions.
